The Media Provenance Summit Tokyo 2026 is hosted by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) in collaboration with IPTC.

Organized by ABU’s Media Provenance Summit Japan Project and supported by EBU and the BBC, the summit brings together international expertise, real-world experience, and emerging implementation perspectives to advance trusted media in the age of AI.

Trust in media content is being challenged worldwide by misinformation, disinformation, and generative AI.
As these challenges move from abstract risks to urgent realities, media organizations are increasingly asking not only why provenance matters, but how it can be implemented in real newsroom and distribution environments.

The summit addresses these challenges through the practical adoption of C2PA, a framework for content provenance and authenticity.

The summit will bring together broadcasters and media professionals from a wide range of regions worldwide in Tokyo to share experiences, discuss technical and operational challenges, and explore concrete pathways toward implementation.

Participants will hear perspectives from organizations working in highly demanding information environments, where trust, verification, and resilience are not merely future concerns but immediate operational priorities.

By examining emerging implementation experiences and cross-sector support models, the summit will help participants consider how provenance technologies can be adapted, scaled, and sustained across diverse media environments in the Asia-Pacific region.

The summit aims to promote dialogue and collaboration toward building a sustainable Media Provenance ecosystem across the broadcasting and media industry.
